Trump Lawyers Told Not to 'Take Two Bites at the Apple' as Hush Money Case Heads to Federal Court
A federal judge has rejected President Donald Trump's attempt to move the appeal of his hush money conviction to federal court, telling his lawyers that they 'sought two bites at the apple.' The decision was made after Trump's lawyers previously tried to have the case heard in two other courts.
A federal judge has rejected President Donald Trump's attempt to move his hush money appeal from state court to federal court, calling it an 'attempted second bite at the apple' after lawyers previously tried and failed in two other courts. The judge expressed skepticism about Trump's argument, suggesting that he had already taken his chance in those cases. Now, the case will continue in state court as originally planned. The ruling adds to Trump's mounting legal troubles related to his alleged wrongdoing in connection with the Stormy Daniels hush money payment.
